About this map

Santiam State Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of eastern Linn County, where logging and forest management define the local geography. The terrain is marked by significant peaks and clearings, most notably the towering Snow Peak and the high meadow of Indian Prairie. These natural features are surrounded by a network of drainage systems, including the prominent Thomas Creek which carves through the central portion of the quadrangle.

A system of timber-access roads connects various extraction sites, indicated by numerous Borrow Pits and the Radio Tower that serves as a modern navigational landmark. Smaller water bodies like Indian Prairie Lake and named tributaries such as Criminal Creek and Hortense Creek illustrate the complex watershed of the Cascades foothills. The inclusion of Thomas Carin suggests localized historical markers or family-named survey points within the deep forest.
